Igor

I named Igor after the little rather wonky gosling in Fly Away home one of my favourite films that a friend recommended to me. The little gosling struggles a bit more than the others, is always a bit behind them, sort of like the runt.

I think Igor the bear is a bit the same. He is the wonkiest mohair bear i've done to date, his eyes are completely lopsided I'm not sure you can see so well in the photos. His ears are two different sizes too, a pattern for each of them.


the wonkiness is totally intential, Igor is inspired or based off my own old steiff wonky Ferdy.
( him with Ferdy above)


Igor is a slow moving, quiet little bear. Not much of a talker ( maybe due to lack of mouth stitching) more of an observer. He's the sort of bear that finds the rabbit tail in the field and the four leaf clover in the grass.
Igor also has one of the worlds largest collections of pet rocks, all named Roger.
Here is he with a few of them ( the inside Rogers)
Hope you have a great Monday!

Igor is perfect in every way.
Did you tell me you had watched that film?? I can't remember. I knew you'd love it though. It is wonderful. We might have to snuggle up and watch it this afternoon again. X

Hello Igor, welcome. You certainly have picked a lovely person to live with. You look like a very special bear, caring and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing your rock collection with us.

When I was young I had this theory that all politicians who could lift just one eyebrow were Labour party members. Does Igor lean to the left politically speaking? lol Cherrie
PS He may be wonky but he is still a perfectly proportioned wonk.

He's perfectly in his wonk Jess & you've done so well re: his resemblance to Ferdy... long lost brothers, obviously.

Igor is all kinds of lovely.
